Abstract
This study reported a three-dimensional NH2-modified MIL-53(Fe)/graphene aerogel composite (GMAN) to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of ibuprofen (IBP) in the presence of persulfate (PS). GMAN-1 achieved nearly complete IBP degradation within 20 min under visible light with PS. The enhanced catalytic activity originated from the narrower band gap, higher transformation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and higher BET surface areas of GMAN-1 compared with MIL-53(Fe)-NH2 and graphene aerogel. Radical quenching experiments coupled with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated that ·OH and SO4·- were the primary reactive species during the IBP degradation. The optimized GMAN structure effectively suppressed iron ion leaching (<0.31 %) and had good repeatability and stability for IBP degradation. Finally, IBP degradation pathways were proposed, toxicity assessment revealed the reduced ecological risks of IBP degradation intermediates. This work provided a rational design for robust MOF composites in sustainable water purification.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
